Re: Blown capacitor cause
I had this on a cellar cooling unit - we replaced the compressor (ManEurope), it started fine but after a few minuites the run capacitor blew up. Changed it and its been fine since.

Re: Blown capacitor cause
Did you not replace the capacitor and start contactor/relay as a matter of course when changing the compressor ?

Re: Blown capacitor cause
Yeh - but ManEuope did not give us any capacitors or anything with the compressor
, so we had to make do with what we had.
